leſs difficulty, then if the Cylinder, be

ing devoid of Air, the Stop-cock were
<
lb

exactly ſhut: We might take notice of
<
lb

ſome other things, that depend upon the
<
lb

Fabrick of our Engine it ſelf; but to ſhun
<
lb

prolixity, we will, in this place, content
<
lb

our ſelves to mention one of them, which
<
lb

ſeems to be of greater moment then the
<
lb

reſt, and it is this; that when the Sucker
<
lb
/>
has been impell'd to the top of the Cylin
<
lb
/>
der, and the Valve is ſo carefully ſtopp'd,
<
lb
/>
that there is no Air left in the Cylinder a
<
lb

bove the Sucker: If then the Sucker be
<
lb
/>
drawn to the lower part of the Cylinder,
<
lb
/>
he that manages the Pump findes not any
<
lb
/>
ſenſibly greater difficulty to depreſs the
<
lb
/>
Sucker, when it is nearer the bottom of the
<
lb
/>
Cylinder, then when it is much further off.

to take notice of, becauſe an eminent Mo

Air is ſucked out of a Body, the violence

wherewith it is wont to ruſh into it again,
<
lb

as ſoon as it is allow'd to re-enter, pro

ceeds mainly from this; That the preſſure
<
lb

of the ambient Air is ſtrengthned upon
<
lb

the acceſſion of the Air ſuck'd out; which,

to make it ſelf room, forces the neighbor
